Self-portraits, koru art, garden weaving and Monet-style Impressionist paintings were among the colourful artworks on display in the Riverlands School hall this week as part of the school's biennial art show.

New-entrant teacher Karen Paterson, who has been involved in organising the art show since 2002, said pupils had been working on and setting aside pieces to exhibit for the past year.

The school's 230 pupils each contributed up to three artworks, which had to be in line with the different art technique set for their classroom.

"So it's just magic walking into the hall and seeing all their work," Mrs Paterson said.

"The little ones can do [artwork that is] just as good as the older ones - it's just a matter of giving them the time."
